High dynamic range diamond detector acquisition system for beam wire scanner applications

The Wire Scanner System of the Final Focus Test Beam

The system of wire scanners in use at the FFTB at SLAC is described. In addition to the scanners themselves, there is a discussion of detectors for the scattering from the wires, and of the procedure for handling beam spots of large aspect ratio.

Phase Frequency Detector Using Transmission Gates for High Speed Applications

In this paper a new phase-frequency detector is proposed using transmission gates which can detect phase difference less than 500ps. In other word, the proposed Phase-frequency Detector (PFD) can work in frequencies higher than 1.7 GHz, whereas a conventional PFD operates at frequencies less than 1.1 GHz. This new architecture is designed in TSMC 0.13um CMOS Technology. Also, the proposed PFD a...

Measuring Scanner Dynamic Range

The use of scanners to provide digital image files is rapidly growing. Currently there is no standardized method to determine the dynamic range of scanners. Therefore the data reported in technical specifications can be determined using different methods. An ISO 21550 Standard to measure the ability of scanners to reproduce tones especially in the dark areas of the original is currently under d...

High Dynamic Range Real-time Vision System for Robotic Applications

Robotics applications often requires vision systems capable of capturing a large amount of information related to a scene. With many camera sensors, the perception of information is limited in areas with strong contrasts. The High Dynamic Range (HDR) vision system can deal with these limitations. This paper describes the HDR-ARtiSt hardware platform (High Dynamic Range Advanced Real-time imagin...
